When I did so, the BTS sent this mail CC the maintainers: From: ow...@bugs.debian.org (Debian Bug Tracking System) To: Ian Jackson <ijack...@chiark.greenend.org.uk> CC: debian-c...@lists.debian.org, pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org Subject: Processed: modemmanager should ask before messing with serial ports Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2017 20:51:06 +0000 Processing control commands: > block 683839 by -1 Bug #683839 [modemmanager] modemmanager fiddles with ttyUSB devices without asking first 683839 was not blocked by any bugs. 683839 was not blocking any bugs. Added blocking bug(s) of 683839: 877024 -- 683839: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=683839 877024: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=877024 Debian Bug Tracking System Contact ow...@bugs.debian.org with problems This is indeed not an ideal as a way to draw the escalation to the maintainers' attention. (None of the traffic in #683839 explicitly mentions the TC.) I should have used X-Debbugs-CC to CC my initial report of #877024 to the maintainers. Sorry for not doing that. I'm happy to wait a bit longer to see if the maintainers have an opinion. Thanks, Ian.
